I've asked for a preference that would allow us to decouple TM's search fields from the Find Pasteboard, but this has been flatly refused.
Part of TextMate’s appeal is that it’s a real Cocoa app that works correctly with the rest of the system, and not some cross-platform Frankenstein.
And in my experience, the history in TextMate’s Find interface is very good at restoring not only the text, but the options from previous searches.
